Best Urban Bike: Breezer Beltway Infinity

7 / 8

Bikes for errands, commutes, and fun

Breezer, whose Uptown model has won this category in the past, impressed us anew with this speedy commuter. The easy-rolling 700c wheels and quick-handling frame let us maneuver through traffic, while the powerful hydraulic disc brakes helped us control heavy loads. Company founder Joe Breeze says he believes transportation bikes should be ready for any situation, so this model includes dynamo-powered lights, a rack, fenders, kickstand, and a bell. The Nuvinci 360 internally geared hub delivers blissfully smooth shifts.
